*The silver mod '''Riposte''' provides melee-only damage reflection, and it will also reflect [[Sacred 2:Chance for Poison|poison]], [[Sacred 2:Chance for Burn|burn]], [[Sacred 2:Chance for Weaken|weaken]], or [[Sacred 2:Chance for Freeze|freeze]] status effects onto enemies that use weapons of the respective element. Examples include Dark Archers, Assassins, etc.  The chance for this ability (to reflect) starts at 36.2% at CA level 1, and increases incrementally up to a maximum of what appears to be ~70% (possibly higher?). On average for the first 15 levels the player can expect to gain ~1% per level up. While apparently wild in growth rates at first, it does even out at around level 9. As a temporary buff this skill provides a large chance to reflect damage, it is highly recommended that skill level be increased with socketed [[Sacred 2:Runes|runes]] or [[Sacred 2:Aspect: "Name"|+ Aspect]] equipment to improve the duration but not the regen time. If the Gold Mod '''Permanent''' is chosen the growth and final chance to reflect are halved (rounding up), this is NOT recommended until much later in a Temple Guardian's life where he can afford to pump levels, eat runes, etc.
  
Notes on Riposte:
+
*Note that, like all CA's in the '''Devout Guardian''' aspect, casting speed is determined by weapon speed, and can be boosted by weapon lore skills and +% [[Sacred 2:Attack Speed|attack speed]]. Likewise, the casting speed will be penalized by wielding a weapon with too high a level.

Usage Strategies

  • If the Temple Guardian wishes to use ranged weapons he must take the bronze mod Assault to gain a boost to attack rating.

On average for the first 15 levels the player can expect to gain ~1% per level up. While apparently wild in growth rates at first, it does even out at around level 9. As a temporary buff this skill provides a large chance to reflect damage, it is highly recommended that skill level be increased with socketed runes or + Aspect equipment to improve the duration but not the regen time. If the Gold Mod Permanent is chosen the growth and final chance to reflect are halved (rounding up), this is NOT recommended until much later in a Temple Guardian's life where he can afford to pump levels, eat runes, etc.
